1	A prisoner of war passing through the camp proves to be a skilled surgeon, and Hawkeye and B.J. scheme to keep him around. Unfortunately, Frank and Margaret seem to recognize him...
2
3	!!Attention all personnel! Dr. Cho has arrived unannounced with the following tropes!
4
5	* EveryManHasHisPrice: Radar helps Hawkeye and B.J. fake a profile and dog tags for "Dr. Cho" in exchange for assisting with the nurses' annual physicals. Sparky helps out on the I-Corps end in exchange for the doctor's Chinese Army-issue watch, "straight from the wrist of an enemy officer". "With his permission, might I add".
6	* {{Hypocrite}}: Frank regarding Donald:
7	-->'''Frank:'''He could be married, you know, and didn't tell you.\
8	'''Margaret:''' Remember how our relationship started?\
9	'''Frank:''' Right.
10	* FailedASpotCheck: Dr. Paik was uncovered because he could tell the "medics" asking for supplies were actually North Korean. Only one way he'd know that...
11	* JerkassHasAPoint: Frank and (especially) Margaret ultimately foil Hawkeye and B.J.'s plan, leading to his re-arrest.
12	-->'''Potter:''' It was Houlihan and Burns who put the bee on him. If they can figure it out, anybody can.
13	* NotWhatItLooksLike: Dr. Paik tries to help a choking patient when no nurse is around to help; they walk in as he has his hands on the man's throat.
14	* MajoredInWesternHypocrisy: Dr. Paik attended the University of Chicago for his medical training.
15	* PaperThinDisguise: All they visibly do to turn Dr. Paik into Dr. Cho is give him a shave and a new uniform.
16	* StereotypeReactionGag: Dr. Paik, despite being Chinese, was trained in Illinois, leading to this:
17	-->'''Hawkeye:''' Maybe afterwards, you'll come to the States sometime and we'll all get together and have a few beers.
18	-->'''Paik:''' Or perhaps you'll take an exotic cruise to my country and we'll share some rice wine.
19	-->'''Radar:''' I bet you know some terrific places for Chinese food.
